    I,v probably misread what your asking for,tiz late
    But the standard rims should have 175/65/r14 tyres and the turbo zender 195/50/r15

    i can see why they are rubbing now ,i guess turbo wheels would be 5.5j wide than .
    i am running 185/60/14s on clio rsi wheels (6j) and get the odd rubbage
    when i go into potholes or have weight in the back
    its the sidewall rubbing at the rear end of the arch btw .

    just managed to get some 5.5j baccara alloys ,hoping 185/55/14s will
    give me more clearence on those

    thanks again matey

    9/11 turbo rims are 5.5j wide, made by speedline too

    Stop messing about & trim the arch, Paul B's 9 is pretty low on r888's & theres no catching.

    LOL...........Brigsy is spot on.....no rubbing even on full compression.....I use 185 R888's.......had 185's on before which never rubbed either...
    only thing that ever rubbed the tyres was the back box, , my own doing after a flat spin in the wet at 70+......proper Top Gun stylee but I didnt eject

    complimentary pic to show full compression,and full extension...bonus
